CommonJS CommonJS — require() works on every Node.js version we test

rollup-plugin-replace ships CommonJS only. require("rollup-plugin-replace") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun. import "rollup-plugin-replace" also works because Node.js and Bun can import CommonJS from ES modules, but only the default export is guaranteed; named imports depend on Node's static analysis of the module.

It also declares a "module" field, so bundlers such as webpack, Vite and esbuild pick up an ESM build for tree-shaking.

What to do

  1. require("rollup-plugin-replace") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun.
  2. From ES modules use the default import: import rollupPluginReplace from "rollup-plugin-replace"; then destructure. Named imports only work when Node.js can statically detect the exports.
  3. TypeScript: no types are available for rollup-plugin-replace; declare the module yourself if you need them.
  4. This package is deprecated: This module has moved and is now available at @rollup/plugin-replace. Please update your dependencies. This version is no longer maintained.
